Moreover, on April 17th, Dr. Cristina Legido-Quigley (Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science, King’s College London) visited us and gave an interesting talk titled «Producing and Integrating omics for Drug Discovery.»

Many thanks Mathieu & Cristina for your visit and great talks!

In the last few months, we have had the pleasure of celebrating several achievements of our team members.

On May 5th, our Researcher and Head of Communication, Laureano E. Carpio, defended his PhD thesis titled «Identification of New Bioactive Compounds Generated by Intestinal Bacteria». This work was done in by Laureano in the context of a collaboration between ProtoQSAR and the prestigious group “Microbiome, Nutrition and Health» led by Dr. Yolanda Sanz at the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC). It was a day of celebration and joy for all of us. We want to emphasize Laureano’s effort and outstanding work. Congratulations!


Moreover, during the MaterialsWeek 2024 event in Limasol (Cyprus), our senior researcher José Luis Vallés Pardo was awarded the «Data & Tool FAIRification Award» for the proper handling of data following FAIR principles, as demonstrated in his oral presentation on automated extraction of experimental and predictive data for SSbD assessment. This work is part of the European projects BIO-SUSHYSiToLub, and CheMatSustain. Congratulations José Luis on this well-deserved award!
